Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the manifold implications of Martin Lutherâs reformation and the propagation of a new German language in the 16th century. It discusses how a common language that was accessible to the masses aided in the coalescence of a sense of national identity for the German people who, until then, had been splintered into various duchies and principalities. While delving into the history of the German language from feudal times until the present day, the book establishes Luther as a pivotal figure in the formation of standard high German and the dissemination of a common German culture. By exploring these developments, the author demonstrates how a shared language can serve as a powerful force in uniting people and fostering a sense of national consciousness Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
